Peter Crouch scored the only goal of the match a minute after entering 20 minutes from time as Stoke City beat Hull City 1-0.

Mark Hughes got his substitutions right as his only two subs of the match - Charlie Adam and Peter Crouch - combined for the only goal of the match. The first half didn't see much in the way of significant chances from either side. Charlie Adam came on a halftime for Stephen Ireland and improved things for the home side but it wasn't until the introduction of Peter Crouch that the scorekeeper was troubled. Feb 28 - 12:13 PM

A header by Peter Crouch in the 90th minute salvaged a road point for Stoke City as they would draw 1-1 with Newcastle United.

Crouch has been more used of the bench lately than as a starter, and with the return of Mame Biram Diouf to the XI today, Crouch was once again asked to deliver as a substitute. He did just that. With Newcastle up a goal in the 90th minute, Geoff Cameron launched a 60 yard cross to the far post which Crouch curled in under the crossbar with one of his patented headers. It marks the fifth goal of the season in league play for the tall man and may earn him a start for the next match, which makes sense because it is a quick turnaround for a midweek clash with Manchester City.

Beanpole forward Peter Crouch has signed a new contract with Stoke City that will see him remain at the club through the 2016-17 season.

One of the things that Mark Hughes has successfully done at Stoke City since his arrival is develop a deep squad capable of weathering even significant injuries. Peter Crouch is no longer expected to start every match but in rotation with Mame Biram Diouf and Jon Walters he forms a strikeforce that offers variety, quality and depth. Diouf brings speed, Walters brute force and Crouch aerial ability. The extension will see Crouch remain at the Britannia through his age 36 season. Jan 29 - 11:53 AM

Peter Crouch's status for Boxing Day is up in the air due to a neck injury he picked up in the second half of the Potters' Week 17 loss to Chelsea.

With Everton coming off a drubbing at the hands of Southampton and generally looking less than impressive this season, Crouch will be wanting to do everything possible to get back for Stoke City's Boxing Day match at Goodison Park. Given the extra day between team news coming out and the actual matches being played there will inevitably be more uncertainty than usual. Fantasy managers should be cautious in situations like this where a player's status is uncertain. Wed, Dec 24, 2014 10:10:00 AM
